Silverthorn Country Club

Overview: Silverthorn Country Club is an 18-hole Spring Hill course designed by Joe Lee. The official club page lists a par 72 layout reaching 6,900 yards, with a mixture of tree-lined fairways, links-style openness, rolling terrain, water and Gulf-influenced breezes. Its semi-private model combines member life with public play.

History: The club records an opening in 1994 and continues to operate as a semi-private facility open to visitors seven days a week. The course has retained its Joe Lee identity while developing into a regular local and visitor option in the Hernando County golf market.

Did You Know? The fifth hole is a signature par three surrounded by water. It is the clearest example of Silverthorn's central design idea: a relatively compact Florida course can still create a demanding visual decision when the hazard is allowed to dominate the approach.
